February 19, 2013 from 11:30am to 12pm

He admits it is against the law and admits he doesn't care. When his employees complained, Mayor Berry's city attorney told KOB-tv said that Szeman's ultimatum is illegal but the mayor won't enforce the law. Stand up…See More

Posted on May 3, 2012 at 12:29pm 2 Comments

The meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 7, at 5:00pm at City Hall. There will be a Teach-in + Telethon tonight (May 3) from 5-7pm that can be seen on Ch. 27 or streamed online at…
